I'd picture that kind of stuff to be more popular in Uptown?

Ha! Actually, as crazy as it sounds, I've never yet gone to an antique store in Mpls St. Paul area proper. I hit most of the other parts of the state since I travel for business fairly frequently. I spot shops on the way to appointments and you can bet I stop at them on the way home!


Either way, it does take work to collect straight razors, nice ones. To really build am impressive collection with high quality excellent condition razors, it's almost like a part time job. You either pay with money, time or both. I know someone personally who is a pro, a true pro at keeping his ear to the ground on spending a lot of time on Ebay, local sales, estate, etc. He has the luxury of being able to devote a ton of time toward looking and he scores great deals because of it.
